I have mentioned the Brainshark Content Network before, but here's an update as the service has now been
re-launched - simply called myBrainshark.

All the content and functionality of the original Content Network remains, but the interface has been improvied and they've added some new capabilities, and also opened up the publishing opportunity to anyone who want to sign up – and it remains free!

Here's a 2-minute Introduction:

And here’s a recent article published by BusinessKnowHow about
myBrainshark that summarizes its features and
benefits.

David Over who manage the 21st Century Challenges series - www.21stCenturyChallenges.org
at the Royal Geographical Society left a note on the blog about their next event. It seems to me this deserves a wider audience, so I am reposting it here:

Our next event is on "Digital divide in the
UK" focusing on the 17m people in the UK who are not online. Event is on 1
December at 7pm in London.

Martha Lane Fox confirmed on the panel and
discussion will be chaired by BBC Tech corespondent Rory Cellan-Jones.

I've posted briefly about DocVerse earlier this year,
but I recently received an email from Shan at DocVerse to tell me that
DocVerse now supports the entire Microsoft Office suite - Word, Excel
AND PowerPoint.

Shan writes "DocVerse will literally change the way you think
about working with other people on your documents. It is the FIRST
product to allow multiple people to edit the same document at the same
time. It lets you share documents with each other easily over the web
and automatically tracks version history, eliminating the pains of
using back-and-forth email attachments".
